I ask because they are in the Bible!! I am a little confused about why Isaiah one of the greatest prophets would believe in Unicorns and Satyrs. Really??

KJV Isaiah 34: 6-7 6The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

7And the UNICORNS shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

KJV ISAIAH 34:13-14 13And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of DRAGONS, and a court for owls.

14The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the SATYR shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

4/10. Don't try so hard. Trolling should be hard to detect and satirical - simply calling their beliefs stupid doesn't count.

Unicorns probably existed 4000+ years ago but went extinct obviously.

Idk what it actually means when it says dragons. Could be a dinosaur. As for satyrs, I don't know either. Good luck in finding out.

That's mainly due to poor translation because the KJV isn't as wonderful as some would have you believe. However, there are real precedents for these creatures. Unicorns are probably based on a central Asian extinct animal called Elasmotherium by modern scientists, handed down in myth. Dragons are, i presume, the likes of crocodiles - for instance, St George appears to have killed a crocodile which was preventing a village in Libya from accessing a fresh water spring. Satyrs? Dunno, maybe gorillas?
